Session 0009: Dashboard Rewrite Committed & Gen-Timers Migration

Date: 2026-02-23 Status: Completed Origin: MDF Webseiten session 0047

Work Done

• [x] Committed ops-dashboard rewrite (8 files, rebuild.py reduced from 707 to 348 lines)
• [x] Browser-tested all 5 dashboard pages: Dashboard, Backups, Schedules, Operations, MDF drill-down

Frontend Fixes (app.js)

• [x] Fixed environment parsing — cfg.environments returns objects, needed .map(e => e.name) for promote/sync/lifecycle sections
• [x] Removed has_coolify gate — Container Lifecycle section was incorrectly hidden entirely
• [x] Changed all "Coolify API" text references to "docker compose"
• [x] Fixed leftover banner bug — "Go to Backups" banner from Recreate persisted across subsequent Restart/Rebuild operations

Gen-Timers Migration

• [x] Rewrote cmd_gen_timers to read from all_projects() descriptors instead of registry.yaml
• [x] Orphan timer auto-cleanup (removed backup-coolify.timer)
• [x] Schedule PUT endpoint now writes to project.yaml (not registry.yaml) — registry.yaml is now dead code

Seafile Healthchecks

• [x] Added Docker HEALTHCHECK to prod-mdf-seafile (curl localhost:80, 60s start_period)
• [x] Added Docker HEALTHCHECK to prod-mdf-seafile-redis (redis-cli ping)
• [x] All 3 Seafile containers now report healthy in dashboard

Backup Bug Fixes

• [x] Fixed single-env backup — MDF CLI --all flag was always backing up all envs even when one env was requested
• [x] Fixed bk.create delegation — only delegates when command template contains {env}

Known Issues Remaining

• Restore chain broken: offsite downloaded file path not reaching actual restore (shows wrong filename)
• Backups page shows all entries as "Remote" (local/remote distinction broken in frontend)

Key Decisions / Learnings

• project.yaml descriptors replace registry.yaml as source of truth for all ops commands
• has_coolify gate should be removed — dashboard should always show lifecycle section
• Browser testing after every batch of changes is essential — environment parsing bug only visible in browser
